   At the Last Supper, Jesus told His disciples He was going away, but would return to them in a little while. They didn’t understand – didn’t know that even at that moment, Judas was “selling out” Jesus to the Jewish authorities for 30 pieces of silver. They didn’t understand that on the morrow He would be crucified; nor did they understand that He would rise from the dead and meet with them again. Jesus said that after He returned to His Father in heaven, He would send them His Spirit to live in them continually. They didn’t understand that either, until the day of Pentecost. And then those disciples, living in the power of the poured-out Holy Spirit became instruments of God who, through them, changed the Roman Empire.
   Increasingly, their grief became joy!
   The Holy Spirit comes to live in every person who believes in Jesus and His death and resurrection, whereby He paid the penalty for all our sin. He offers us eternal life and a Spirit-filled life. Have you turned in faith to Jesus and received that Gift?
